As soon as Ciaran hit forest cover, he caught himself against a tree and spun around, watched as the villagers surrounded Brenna. Eoghan tackled her to the ground, and then she was swallowed in a mass of human confusion. It was Dolan who waded in and rescued her, but by then she’d been beaten and bound.
The woman who’d started all the trouble yelled, “Drown her!”
Some others, including Eoghan, picked up the chant, but Dolan managed to speak over them.
“We must wait,” he said. “First we must celebrate our victory over the enemy. Then we will judge her.”
